As someone from the Global South, in a country that has suffered and been exploited by Spanish imperialism, British imperialism, and then US neoimperialism, I find it a bit amusing that the tone of this article is: "China is dangerously and alarmingly building bases and strongholds all over the world, some of which are close to OUR bases and strongholds!"
You see, only America gets to be a global superpower with imperialist reach.
(To forestall the certain bad faith arguments that are inevitable to pop up, I think Chinese imperialism is also bad).
